摘要

意识科学充满了试图解释什么是意识以及如何在自然和人工系统中识别意识的理论。这些理论经常提出不同和相互矛盾的主张,表明通往成熟的意识理论的道路仍然漫长而曲折。在这篇论文中,我们提出了一种很有希望的前进方式,同时有助于解决关于意识的紧迫问题,我们称之为构建块方法。构建块是构成理论的简单元素,例如有助于解释感兴趣的现象的重要方面的关键概念或假设。构建块方法建议将重点转移到意识理论的这些更简单的元素上,同时尽量减少对具体理论建议的投入。在这里,我们通过讨论两个潜在的构建块,即注意力和信息生成,在意识理论中(应该)扮演什么角色,来展示构建块方法如何有助于评估、整合和统一意识科学中的各种理论。

Building blocks for theories of consciousness
Consciousness science is brimming with theories attempting to explain what consciousness is and how it can be identified in natural and artificial systems. These theories often make different and conflicting claims, evincing that the road to a mature theory of consciousness is still long and convoluted. In this paper, we propose that a promising way forward that at the same time facilitates addressing urgent questions about consciousness is what we call a building block approach. Building blocks are the simpler elements making up a theory, such as key notions or assumptions that contribute to explain important aspects of the phenomenon of interest. A building block approach recommends shifting the focus to these simpler elements of theories of consciousness while minimizing commitment to specific theoretical proposals. Here, we demonstrate how building block approaches can contribute to the assessment, integration and unification of diverse theories in consciousness science, by discussing what roles two potential building blocks, namely, attention and information generation, (should) play in theories of consciousness..

期刊介绍: Consciousness and Cognition: An International Journal provides a forum for a natural-science approach to the issues of consciousness, voluntary control, and self. The journal features empirical research (in the form of regular articles and short reports) and theoretical articles. Integrative theoretical and critical literature reviews, and tutorial reviews are also published. The journal aims to be both scientifically rigorous and open to novel contributions.
